In Reply to: On the Dutoit.. posted by PAR on July 15, 2016 at 08:29:40:
My own big touchstone for The Planets is how well the women's chorus can stay in tune as they fade away through the end of Neptune, and in this respect, the women of The Sixteen (yes - I know they're kind of a HIP group!) are very accomplished on an unlikely recording of this repertoire which I still find extremely impressive overall:
So far, the hi-rez versions of this work I've heard (Andrew Davis on Chandos, etc.) aren't quite as compelling for me as interpretations. As with many Collins Classics titles, the microphones on this Svetlanov album are a bit further away than usual. I see that Svetlanov also has an in-concert recording of this work with the Swedish RSO and Choir - haven't heard it. I'd say that overall, Svetlanov's tempos are a bit on the slower side. I like other CD-rez versions too, including the Karajan/VPO (a much better example of Decca engineering than the Dutoit IMHO).
